Disposition: Institutional consent order. Not a personal nursing-license action against Nick Mansour. He was Chairman/CEO per his own bio at the time the complaints accrued and the order issued.
R-02 · Title and ownership
Chairman / CEO, Eduvision d/b/a Arizona College of Nursing
Mansour campaign page “Meet Nick” (mansourforarizona.com/nick): “Most recently, Nick was Chairman and CEO of the Arizona College of Nursing.” Seeds of Peace bio same. College catalog: “Ownership — Eduvision, Inc. d.b.a. Arizona College of Nursing” and “Nick Mansour, Chairman of the Board.” AZCN press release Aug. 31, 2022: Jason Anderson joins as CEO; quote from “Nick Mansour, Chairman of Arizona College of Nursing.”
R-03 · Dallas student suit
Caine et al. v. Eduvision — allegations
N.D. Texas 3:22-cv-01713, First Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs allege enrollment despite background issues that would block licensure, and that CARES Act emergency student aid was not passed through. College response in a Milwaukee Common Council packet: agencies were contacted and “took no negative action against AZCN.”
Disposition: Allegations in a pleading. Not treated on this site as proven facts.
R-04 · Endowment risk
His own words on allocation and payout
Arizona PBS, “Arizona State Treasurer candidate – Democrats,” Aug. 25, 2026: safety / liquidity / yield order; “We’re over allocated to bonds today, and we should be doing more on the public index side”; distribution “of about 2.5%” could be raised “above 5% with the proper guard rails.”
Opposition sites (businessagainstnick.com) characterize this as a move from 60/40 equities-bonds toward 80/20. That 80/20 figure is their characterization, not a quote found in the PBS write-up. This site uses his quotes.
R-05 · Size of the job
Treasurer assets
Arizona Republic, June 30, 2026 Clean Elections debate story: treasurer “responsible for overseeing $33.3 billion in assets.” Campaign and opposition sites commonly use “about $32 billion.” Education endowment figures on his BallotReady / Leadership Now writeups: roughly $8.7–$11 billion depending on date.

U.S. Department of Justice, April 2017: Braden Partners, L.P. d/b/a Pacific Pulmonary Services and Teijin Pharma USA LLC settled FCA allegations involving home-oxygen billing without required physician authorization and a kickback arrangement with sleep clinics.

R-09 · The proud résumé
He still leads interviews with the college
Politics Unplugged (AZFamily / KPHO), Sept. 13, 2026, elevator pitch: “I ran a school called Arizona College of Nursing. We grew it from one campus to 21 during my time there, and our graduates thrived.” Same theme on his campaign bio and a Nov. 2025 campaign talk. This site treats that as him offering the college as the credential he is proud of — not a fabricated “I am a fraudster” quote.
Juxtaposed with AZBN Order 210504RN96500100 (May 2022). No personal fraud conviction. Institutional probation. Student-suit claims remain allegations.
R-10 · Connecticut
Partial approval pulled over Arizona non-disclosure
Hartford Business Journal (Robert Storace), “Facing pushback from local colleges and lack of transparency allegations, Arizona College of Nursing’s CT campus in jeopardy,” Oct. 10, 2022: the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing vacated a partial approval of the college’s plan, accusing it of not being transparent about the Arizona voluntary consent agreement (R-01). New America (Feb. 21, 2024) reports the board “revoked part of their earlier approvals” in September 2022.
CT by the Numbers (July 2023): the board and the college later entered an agreement stating the parties’ “desire to avoid litigation”; the East Hartford campus opened in January 2023.
Disposition: Regulatory action against the institution, later resolved by agreement. Not a personal action against Nick Mansour, who was Chairman/CEO (R-02).
R-11 · Loan defaults
Tempe campus federal loan default rate
New America (Jeremy Bauer-Wolf), “A For-Profit Nursing College Is Trying To Take Root In Wisconsin. Here’s Why That’s Alarming,” Feb. 21, 2024: more than 21 percent of Tempe campus students who entered repayment between Oct. 1, 2018 and Sept. 30, 2021 defaulted on federal loans, versus just above 2 percent nationally.
Note: Figure is New America’s analysis of federal data, cited as such.
R-12 · Completion
Completion and graduation rates
Same New America analysis: completion rate of 58 percent in 2021 (which the college attributed to COVID-19) and 71 percent in 2019; only 60 percent of students who enrolled in the 2016–17 cohort graduated.
